1955 Big Back Windowed Truck Somewhat Restomoded on 2040-cars
Kingston, Tennessee, United States
|
Total Frame off restoration. '73 Nova front subframe with power disc brakes and power steering, all rebuilt. Truck is lowered about 5 inches all around and rides and drives very good. Everything has been replace on this truck: reconditioned American Racing "Daisies" wheels and new tires all around. Complete boxed frame plus extensive rust preventive treatment throughout chassis. Truck drives and handles very nicely. It has a 300 hp 327 ci engine taken from a 1965 Chevy Impala with only 56K original miles on it. I put an additional about 3k miles myself on it. It is a joy to drive. It has a late'90s 5speed pickup truck manual transmission that works flawlessly and fits the trucks character perfectly. It has Magnaflow stainless steel mufflers on it along with a complete new dual exhaust system. The wiring has been completely replaced with an "easy wiring" wiring harness. The 4 gage instrument set are Autometer with the speedometer bein a very close matching electronic programmable model all on a new billet custom dash panal. It has a modern GM tilt steering column along with a new Grant Mahagany wheel. All chrome on the vehicle except the center grill section is new from Brother's Trucks. The bed has been done in treated pine 5/4" decking planks routed to fit the stainless strips, but before assembly the were coated with a deck restoration product you can get at Lows, it's called RESTORE. It can be mixed in ANY color, is easy to roll on and is the best wearing bed liner material I have ever saw. Plus if it did somehow get discolored just roll on a new coat. The truck has new carpet and newly recovered door panels. It has a new headliner in it. It has all new rubber seals and wheatherstripping. I did not put a heat/air system in it. I meant to, just didn't get to it. The seats are out of a late 90's Chevy car, I think a lumina or something like that. But they fit the truck perfectly and are sooo comfortable. The truck has all new glass, tinted grey in back and on the sides, clear with green upper boarder on the windshield This truck is a joy to drive and gets more thumbs up and approval than any car I've every had (and that has been quite a few). |

Check out the official 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition commercial
Sat, 16 Mar 2013
The Poncho is dead. Long live the Poncho. Like certain other reoccurring personal maladies, the aftermarket community simply can't let the Trans Am go without another flare up. The guys at Trans Am Depot have worked up a quick commercial for their newest creation: The 2013 Trans Am Hurst Edition, and it watches pretty much like you'd expect it to. The footage is comprised of just about every TA male fantasy you can conceive of, from Daisy Dukes and white tank tops to tramp stamps, bikinis and ice cream cones. There simply aren't words for what you'll see below.
Of course, we like our T-Tops as much as the next guy. If you like what you see in the videos, you can pick up your very own TA by heading over to the Trans Am Depot site. The guys even have Chevrolet Camaro-based versions of the Pontiac GTO if the '77 TA treatment is too much for your tastes. Enjoy, but don't say we didn't warn you.
GM 6.2L V8 claims most powerful light-duty truck engine title
Thu, 12 Sep 2013General Motors has officially captured the horsepower crown for mainstream pickup trucks with its 6.2-liter V8. The big mill, available in both the Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, comes to market with 420 horsepower and 460 pound-feet of torque, handily outdoing its two cross-town competitors, Ram (5.7-liter V8, 395 ponies and 407 lb-ft) and Ford (6.2-liter V8, 411 hp and 434 lb-ft).
The new GM 6.2 will take a bit of an investment, though. Those that want the extra thrust will need to go with either the LTZ or High Country trims from the Chevy, or the SLT and Denali trims from GMC, which are the two highest trim levels for the respective vehicles. Trim levels aside, if you're in the business of towing, GM has you covered. Optioned with the 6.2-liter V8 and the Max Trailering Package, owners will be able to pull 12,000 pounds, a hugely impressive figure.
We still aren't certain as to what sort of economy the new engine will get, but it'll probably be a bad bet for the fuel conscious. As for availability, expect to see the 6.2-liter trucks in showrooms later in the fall.
GM tinkering with Silverado, Sierra model mix amidst strong early sales
Mon, 04 Nov 2013Variety, as they say, is the spice of life. That's a lesson that is currently being taught to General Motors, because despite a strong showing from its 2014 Chevrolet Silverado and GMC Sierra, the General's pickup sales still can't best those of cross-town rival Ford.
With 59,163 trucks moved, GM fell just over 1,000 units short of toppling Ford, and one of the main reasons for that, according to GM's chief sales analyst, was due to a lack of variety in the engines and body styles available on dealer lots. "We are still over-weighted toward crew-cab V8 trucks. Our light-duty mix will moderate over time as our launch progresses," said Kurt McNeil.
Loading dealers with the popular combination of the 5.3-liter V8 and the four-door, Crew Cab body style was intentional during the truck's launch, but as supplies of leftover 2013 models, which are being sold at heavy incentives, are beginning to wane, both budget-conscious and high-dollar buyers are looking elsewhere instead of at the volume model pickups.
